Other people have offered more nuanced answers but it’s usually just a difference in name/emphasis of the field at large at the time of the program’s founding. I went to a SLAC and had a very similar curriculum to those I’ve taught at large public schools; was just called something else.

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

It is deliberate and wanton devastation entirely out of scale with any concern about DEI activities on campuses.

The goal is destroy US universities.

It’s honestly so disheartening to see this happening at Miami (where I earned my MA), in light of what’s happening at WVU and what happened to English at Purdue (earned my PhD there) several years ago. Am I like the plague or something lolsob
